I saw that spirit on the water
And I rolled with it
I caught that spirit on the water
And I moved with it
I saw that spirit on the water
And I danced with it
That's that spirit on the water
I can't stop chasing it
I was tired of the whip
Don't you give me no lip
It'll change ya
Tired of the chase
[Seem?] to bind us
Link by link
Yard by yard
God, my child
Don't be so hard
I saw that spirit on the water
You know I moved with it
I saw that spirit on the water
I made my peace with it
I saw that spirit on the water
And I raced with it
That's that spirit on the water
I can't stop chasing it
I was tired of the whip
Don't you give me no lip
I was tired of the whip
Don't you give me no lip
It'll change ya
Tired of the chase
[Seem?] to bind us

Yard by yard
Child by child
Don't be so hard‚ nah
